Album • 2015
This track is instrumental.
Treacherous words rise from the mist From envious eyes and poisonous cold, pale lips. Gluttons of pleasure - Gluttons of pain Vengeance by Sevens - My Sweet, cursed Children of Cain. Thrashing and clashing with specters, Hiding from the light - demons of death Chaos and Anguish Perfecter Stealing their last dying breath Driven by greed, slave to addiction A massive decay of a most foul contradiction. Spirits of lust piercing the air Writhing with sins of the flesh etched deep In their stare. Descend the abyss ever faster Hidden from light - demons of death Cursing the Black-Winged Master. With their last dying breath Soar through the flame I call your name Wrath and might get me though this night Can I make it right? Or will you remain? I've finally realized, that longer after laughter dies, I can't undo the things I've done - oh, the things I've done... When will my dark skies disappear - I long to See the sun. Soar through the flame I call your name Wrath and might - get me though this night Can I make it right? Or will you remain... in Hell?

Realms of desolation - where Phantoms Frighten Beasts Through fiery rain, the screams, the pain, eternal, Never cease. Hell's Abomination - boundless chains of woe With mighty stride, the Horsemen ride in a Sable Blackened glow. Into night - Into fury Horse of Crimson she rides Blinding light - Kiss of Fire From the depths, arise... Wastelands of confusion - where nothing's As it seems Beneath the skies, the daylight dies - Destroyer Of all dreams. Bringer of Misfortune - Monarch's great Abyss And by His side - the Queen of Lies - unleashes Fury's Kiss. Into the night - Into fury Horse of Crimson she rides Blinding light - Kiss of Fire From the depths, arise... Feels like the sky is falling My demons calling my name - from the Other side I'm being buried - feels like I'm buried alive. Bring down the hammer with furious anger It's me against the world Bring down my fists with flaming malice It's me against the world Into the night - Into fury Horse of Crimson she rides Blinding light - Kiss of Fire From the depths, arise...

Through me you pass - just take my hand The ferryman whispers my name The course has been set - lord of the damned To the banks, over rivers of pain. We rise and fall - with the tide On through the gates, where shadows await See the glimmer of gold in his eye. 'The bridges have been burned - never to Return...' Sail away - on the winds of Charon Take me to the distant shore Lead the way - on the winds of Charon By the gods, I can't ignore The Sight of his face - shrouded in death's Cold embrace Through me you pass - to the lachrymose plains Though my passage comes with a price A sky without stars is all that remains To the shores made of fire and ice. We rise and fall - with the tide Just say the word - cause there's no return To the coast where the true power lies. 'The bridges have been burned - never to Return...' Sail away - on the winds of Charon Take me to the distant shore; Lead the way - on the winds of Charon By the gods, I can't ignore The sight of his face - shrouded in death's Cold embrace Sail away - on the winds of Charon Take me to the distant shore; Lead the way - on the winds of Charon By the gods, I can't ignore The sight of his face - shrouded in death's Cold embrace

I have led the lamb into the slaughter Ice flowed through my veins I was my own worst enemy, still hellish memories remain. I have shown the serpent into the garden And wore the Mask of Cain, Take a look in these eyes, where the past evil lies - and Feel my pain. Oh - The Hell Hounds drawing near ...And my conscience isn't clear I'm the one who whispered the words the words to Judas, I'm the Hangman's noose. Through I try to repent, in a valiant attempt - it's no use. I'm the Judge, the Jury, the Executioner Oh, the things I've seen With an eye for an eye, kill the man, kill the past, kill the dream. Oh - The Hell Hounds drawing near ...And my conscience isn't clear I've been to Hell and back... And I can't justify believing the lie. I slowly fade to black Learning to Live and Die - I'm Learning to Fly. Under the moonlit glow - I just can't let it go Words spoke in vain, now fall like a silent tear. As shades dance by candlelight - in the dead of the night And all of the things I yearn slowly disappear And now there's nothing here... Riding the storm, heading for a Fall I curse you all - be Damned. Through the haze, the sword that cuts both ways A line is drawn in the sand. Iron-bound - a will as cold as steel. To Conquer all and Divide Striking with an iron fist of will I will not be denied. On and on and on... No quarter asked, no quarter given. On and on and on... Never forgotten or forgiven. Thunders rise from the Terror's eyes Scorched by a heart drenched in black. No return, I will watch it burn Now there's no turning back. On and on and on... No quarter asked, no quarter given. On and on and on... Never forgotten or forgiven. I've been to Hell and back... And I can't justify believing the lie. I slowly fade to black Learning to Live and Die - I'm Learning to Fly.

I've been betrayed By the Angel of Death And the Serpent who stole her last breath. Feeding the flame Though I pray for the beast, I prepare for the worst, just the same. Dominator - Subjugator Locked in an Apocalypse gaze Desecrator - Devastator Set my world ablaze In my Darkest Hour - with "thy kingdom's power" Hear my song and hear my plea Put the pieces back together - nothing lasts Forever My darkest hour - let it be... Grant my request Darksome Master of Pain Incarnation of all that's profane. Without a prayer Under six black wing's flutter And six mouths of screaming despair. Born a Liar - Falsifier Trapped in this damned infernal maze Crucifier - born of Fire Set my world ablaze In my Darkest Hour - with "thy kingdom's power" Hear my song and hear my plea Put the pieces back together - nothing lasts Forever. My darkest hour - let it be... In my Darkest Hour - with "thy kingdom's power" Hear my song and hear my plea Put the pieces back together - nothing lasts Forever. My darkest hour - let it be...

I'm on the run. nowhere to turn, they're on my heels Lost in the maze, where do I go? Am I insane, it's just a game of life and death Stay the course and ride the flow. I cross the bridge, I'm at the gates I'm out of breath, chasing the clock, I'm out of time. I hear the dogs, I feel the claws, rake down my back There's no escape, no peace of mind. Oh - Just hold on Oh - Just hold on I'm on my way to you... Run with the Devil - Run for you life The truth of the moment, cuts like a knife Chasing a shadow - still chasing a dream. When it's 'do or die', you know there's no in Between... I see the fiends, they're on the move, they strike With fear Give them the slip, I duck the blade I knuckle-down, I roll the dice, I dance with death Lost in the realm of light and shade My path is weak, it falls away, I feel the heat The fires of Hell beneath me arise. Caught in a trap, there's no way out, walls closing in Is this the hour of my demise? Oh - Just hold on Oh - Just hold on I'm on my way to you... Run with the Devil - Run for you life The truth of the moment, cuts like a knife Chasing a shadow - still chasing a dream. When it's 'do or die', you know there's no in Between... I've searched the depths of Hell to find the key I've wasted time - now time has wasted me... Run with the Devil - Run for you life The truth of the moment, cuts like a knife Chasing a shadow - still chasing a dream. When it's 'do or die', you know there's no in Between...

I stand alone, as my world comes crashing down, Some things are never meant to be. Accept your fate, 'cause there's no second time- Around. "It's not the stars or sky, that shapes our destiny". Just a fateful glance - Just a fleeting chance in the wind - Gone forevermore... Hear my song - Carry on. Through the lost and lonely air. Still I sing - Can it bring All the things that I desire? ...with you - I wouldn't Change a thing Just for you, I'd do most anything, but now You're gone And my swan song echoes on... I walk alone, like a stranger in this town. Is it best to fail, or never try at all? I face the shadows, as the sun is sinking down. "Some rise by sin - and some, by virtue, fall..." Just a fateful glance - Just a fleeting chance in the wind - Gone forevermore... Hear my song - Carry on. Through the lost and lonely air. Still I sing - Can it bring All the things that I desire? ...with you - I wouldn't Change a thing Just for you, I'd do most anything, but now You're gone And my swan song echoes on... Goddess of shadowy play, Whose boundless power, divides the night from the day Plains of woe, eclipsed from all sight, And wrapped forever in the darkest depths of the night. Hear my song - Carry on. Through the lost and lonely air. Still I sing - Can it bring All the things that I desire? ...with you - I wouldn't Change a thing Just for you, I'd do most anything, but now You're gone And my swan song echoes on...

Steal away through the land of the dead - Where Angels fear to tread Over mountains, the sky, and the sea. Feel the light bleeding from a new moon - Escape from the hands of doom I never thought I could change what would be. Break the chains of fear I won't shed another tear The Rise and Fall Although I fight like hell, there's just no certainty. My battlefield lay scarred with empty victories. Running from the past, from a lifetime of lies. But the legend never dies... Here comes the horror, here comes the pain - Flying too close the flame Into darkness, now falling from grace. From the Nine Realms of Woe, I arise. Vindication in my eyes. Lines of tragedy carved deep on my face. Break the chains of fear Now it all seems crystal clear... The Rise and Fall Although I fight like hell, there's just no certainty. My battlefield lay scarred with empty victories. Running from the past, from a lifetime of lies. But the legend never dies... The Rise and Fall Although I fight like hell, there's just no certainty. My battlefield lay scarred with empty victories. Running from the past, from a lifetime of lies. But the legend never dies... The legend never dies...
